Author: Mike Perlstein / Eyewitness Investigator Published: 6:53 PM CST December 16, 2020 Updated: 8:17 AM CST December 17, 2020 NEW ORLEANS Fate Winslow said the first thing he wants to do when he gets back home to Shreveport is stop at Popeye’s for fried chicken.

Fate Winslow, a 53-year-old Black man, got the pitiless sentence in 2008, New Orleans CBS affiliate WWL reported. The life sentence was legally possible because the marijuana distribution was Winslow’s fourth nonviolent offense. Shortly after losing his Shreveport home in 2008, Winslow was approached by two undercover cops who asked him where to buy weed, according to a 2013 American Civil Liberties Union report that first highlighted his case.
